Hillary Clinton is consistently late. And voters are noticing.

Davie, Florida (CNN)—At 3:30 p.m. Friday, one hour after Hillary Clinton was scheduled to take the stage at the gym at Broward College here, Vikesh Patel and three of his classmates left without catching a glimpse of the Democratic front-runner in this key Florida county. She was running late from a fundraiser.

"We've been here since one o'clock," said Patel, who doesn't know much about Clinton but whose parents have followed her and her husband for decades.

He and his classmates were also going to work the rally into a paper for a speech class they're taking.

"I guess we'll have to go see someone else give a speech," Patel said.

In the back of the gym, another student, Nichole Zapata, was rethinking her decision to bring her grandmother to see Clinton speak.

I was listening to Rush when a caller who was on the campus said there was no one there except organizers. The college had set up a special parking area and it was empty.

So in 6 months, will the National Enquirer blame her longevity on being late?

With no one showing up at her rally’s, how can she possibly be leading in the polls?

Typically, tickets to these appearances are made available to reliable Democrat activists. The selected recipients do not want to appear to be insufficiently zombie to the Dem party, so they accept the tickets, hoping they won’t be noticed as no-shows when the event comes off.

When almost all ticket-holders are no-shows, it’s time for the candidate to sober up and plan to exit from the race. Or at least to employ hire-a-crowds.

Not so much taking another nip, but trying to bring Herself down from a really bad case of delirium tremens.

Delirium tremens can occur when you stop drinking alcohol after a period of heavy drinking, especially if you do not eat enough food.

Delirium tremens may also be caused by head injury, infection, or illness in people with a history of heavy alcohol use.

And that phony smile...

Actually, it's a rictus. (Think Jack Nicholson as the Joker in Batman.)

Combine it with Hellery's bobble-head up & down head motion and explosive cackle, and it's as unbearable as an Obama marathon answer to a press conference question.

The possum/No-Show George Jones went through a long string like that. His excuse, he was drunk.

The ‘RATs / LIVs don’t want the Stalinist (Clinton); they want the Marxist (Sanders).

The polls are of the general public - people who say they will vote Democrat. But Hillary can’t bear mingling with hoi polloi, so limits her live audiences to Dem activists, who, as it turns out, don’t really like her.
